WHY WORK WITH sophie?

Researching and writing about Motherhood is my life passion. I believe in what I do, in mothers, and in the possibilities that are open to us as creatives, entrepreneurs, and visionaries in this space.

I was driven to create my business for a number of reasons. As a single mother to my then 2 year old I wanted to find a way to work flexibly and allow me the time I wanted with my daughter, while also supporting us financially. I also wanted to draw on the expertise and experience I had built already, work to my strengths, translate information from the academic world into mainstream conversation, make a difference in the lives of Mothers, and contribute to social and cultural change.

I built my business from the ground up by myself because at the time, I couldn't afford to bring in the support. This means I know intimately the process of creation, of feeling isolated and alone, of wondering whether this is 'worth it', of fear and worry. I found some brilliant mentors and friends, took things one step at a time, and was driven by my vision.

Within 2 years I built my business into a six-figure company, and have supported hundreds of Mothers through a range of offerings including self-study courses, a Practitioner Certification course, mentoring packages, an online membership, a mastermind, and a popular podcast that reaches thousands of listeners across 49 countries.

What I didn't know at the beginning of my journey but that I know now, is that developing your business and work in the world is as much as a journey of personal growth as professional (ok... more!) All of my work blends the realms of the 'personal' and the 'professional', and critiques the social and cultural environment we live within, while offering advice for how to actually navigate these contexts. I think breaking down dichotomies of 'either/or' is where we open space for possibility.

This is why I don't claim to have all the answers, but I do have confidence in knowing what questions to ask. I have a deep commitment to my own ongoing learning, curiosity, and my own personal and intellectual development.

To gain insight into how I teach, share and frame content, you can listen to my podcast The Good Enough Mother. But my advice would be to trust yourself in knowing whether you are called to join this program. It is an honour and a joy to do this work, and I would love to support you in doing yours.
